1. • Height: Determine the vertical rise (distance between floors).
   • The angle of Rotation: Decide how many degrees the staircase will turn.
   • Diameter: The size of the central mast affects the overall design.
   • Useful Line: The area where users walk should be about 2/3 from the center.
   • Treads and Risers: Calculate the number of steps based on the diameter and length of the staircase.

Calculating Length:

1. • To measure the number of steps, you need to know the diameter and length of the staircase.
   • Use the following formula to calculate the total length:  (π (Pi) x radius x angle of rotation) / 180)
2. • Consider that steps near the central mast have irregular shapes. Define the “useful line” where users walk, typically located 2/3 of the center.
   • Apply a method similar to conventional staircases, with a slightly higher tolerance due to the difficulty in adapting to the Blondel formula.

Minimum Requirements:

• • The minimum radius for a helical staircase is typically 70 centimeters, but it’s advisable to choose stairs with at least an 80-centimeter radius.
  • Maintain a minimum height of 2.10 meters between the steps and the ceiling.

• • • Ensure a minimum height of 2.15 meters between steps and the ceiling.
    • Follow local building codes and safety guidelines.
    • Opt for a minimum radius of 80 centimeters for comfortable use.
